Sorry, but no! W1MX sent me a CK of 09. I think I had some other very
early-Century entries as well.
Umh, I think we have a "situation" more rapidly approaching here that may
require change to a 4 digit CK in SS.
In SS 2009 W1MX and other OT's (or OT Club Stations in this example) licensed
in 1909 will not be distinguished from new SS ops/stations that are "first
licensed" in 2009. Year after year the situation will worsen.
